Turn notifications on or off on Apple iPad Pro

The notifications sent by applications or the operating system of the Apple iPad Pro are undoubtedly very useful, but they can be annoying if abused.

Sometimes it happens that, when installing a new application, we accept all the permissions and do not realize it, and after a few days we have been inundated with notifications, often unnecessary and which only attempt to capture our attention without providing us with any real benefit.

Or it may happen that by mistake we have disabled or blocked notifications for an application and we want them to appear again on our iPad Pro.

Whatever your situation, in the following steps we will tell you how to manage notifications from the iPad Pro settings, step by step and with images so you can do it without problems.
